Cthulhu 500

About this board game

Cthulhu 500 is a Cthulhu Mythos-themed racing game for 3–8 players, with races lasting approximately 60 minutes.

Each player begins by choosing a car for the race. From there, the game combines the straightforward excitement of a race with the strange, unsettling flavor of the Cthulhu Mythos.

As the race goes on, players can pick up special drivers and pit crews to add to their racing experience. These include memorable options such as The Fungi from Detroit, bringing a distinctly unusual character to the competition.

• Choose a car before the race begins.
• Pick up special drivers and pit crews during the game.
• Discover car enhancements such as Rats in the Whitewalls.

The available drivers, pit crews, and enhancements give the race its distinctive personality. Rather than presenting an ordinary motorsport contest, Cthulhu 500 places its cars and racing features in a bizarre Mythos setting.

With its combination of racing, themed drivers and pit crews, and unusual car enhancements, the game offers a focused experience built around the race itself. The 3–8 player range also makes it suited to a larger group looking for a themed competition.

Originally released in 2004, Cthulhu 500 turns a familiar racing premise into something unmistakably strange. Choose your car, enter the race, and see what peculiar additions appear along the way.
